About the piece
Painted in 1908 by Richard Gerstl, this portrait of Henryka Cohn is a powerful example of early Austrian Expressionism. The work is defined by its gestural, almost frantic brushstrokes and a daring color palette that pits a luminous white figure against a moody teal background and a rich, rust-colored settee, capturing both the physical presence and psychological depth of the sitter.
